Watermark Court Square has 168 apartments tailored for New York’s integrated, seamless lifestyle - a place to live, work and play with all of the conveniences of the city within reach. The building is served by 7 subway lines with 15 minute access time to midtown Manhattan. Shopping, dining and cultural activities are a short stroll away on Vernon and Jackson Avenues.

When home from the office, residents have the option to work or play in one of the WiFi-powered amenity spaces, including a roof-top terrace with dramatic Manhattan views from the 27th floor sky lounge, roof terrace & fitness center and lobby level co-workspace and café overlooking an outdoor garden.

Watermark Court Square will have loft studios, one and two bedrooms. Smart layouts, efficient storage and appealing social spaces will make loft style studios a value apartment to entry level renters. Large two bedroom corner penthouses will attract those who just want the best.

Designed by Handel Architects. Construction started in June 2015 and apartments will deliver in 2017.

Twining Properties is bringing its Watermark Brand Apartments to NYC.
